Asus Eee Pad Transformer Tablet Specs and Features

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer may have a funny sounding name but its specs and features make it a real winner. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is an Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet. And at an announced price of US$399 (about Php17,000), it is the cheapest Android Honeycomb tablet to date, about US$100 cheaper than the iPad 2.

What makes this tablet unique and really attractive is the option to get the keyboard-dock that perfectly complements the device. Snap the dock on and the device is transformed into a laptop (oh, that’s where the name came from!).

Including the keyboard-dock, you can have the Transformer for only US$550 (about Php23,500). For the price of a netbook, you get a tablet and a laptop.

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer has already been made available in the US but its availability in the Philippines is still unknown.
